Located in the town of LaSalle, this standard deck plate girder bridge crosses the Little Vermillion River.
In 1900, a three span deck girder bridge was constructed at this location, using the original 1854 substructures. In 1952, these stone piers were encased in concrete, and two spans were replaced with identical spans.
Bridges like these are standard to cross small to medium sized rivers. Typically durable, these bridges provide extra load capacity as well.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in fair condition, with minor deterioration noted.
The author has ranked the bridge as being minimally significant, due to the common design and newer age.
